You’re Not Being Realistic
What have you wanted to do lately that you haven’t done because you’re afraid you’re not being realistic?
What have you wanted to do with your life that you’ve not done because someone around you said it wasn’t realistic?
What have you wanted to do in your life but were afraid because someone close to you said, “You probably shouldn’t do that, I don’t want you to be disappointed if it doesn’t work out, it just doesn’t seem realistic.”
Who said whatever it is you wanted to accomplish had to be realistic?
Some examples of not being realistic:

- Being the first person to take flight with a plane-First achieved December 17th 1903 by Orvil Wright
- Breaking the sound barrier-First achieved October 14th 1947 by Chuck Yeager
